Will Kele smile? What’s Russell’s fringe like these days? If east London is a vampire, then what is central Dublin? Big questions, reticent answers.

Mojo Gogo – Loft, Grand Social, Dublin (8pm, 13th February) – FREE

The Grand Social “advise an afternoon nap in preparation” for this gig, as Mojo Gogo are “the keepers of true rock ‘n roll IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE”, whatever that means. (It’s probably sexual or to do with drugs.)

Gacy’s Threads – Limelight 2, Belfast (9pm, 13th February) – €3

Hardcore four-piece tell cupid to go fuck himself.

Calexico – Olympia, Dublin (7:30pm, 14th February) – €25-27.50

Spend Valentine’s Day in deepest Americana. Here’s a clip of Calexico playing with My Morning Jacket’s Jim James while Richard Gere as Bob Dylan watches. Blammo, that happened.

It has been seven years since James Yancey passed. To mark the occasion, there will be a screening of A Suite for Ma Dukes, the live recording of Carlos Nino and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson’s tribute EP to the late J Dilla, as part of Love Jones, which will also feature soul and hip-hop cover band Butter.

In order to raise €10,000 for this year’s 10 Days in Dublin, the festival’s organisers are putting on a number of gigs around Dublin city. This week sees Fight Like Apes doing their part for a good cause.
